ABI1 and breast cancer: Some effects of Abi1 on cytoskeletal reorganization are dependent on phosphorylation of the protein, and interestingly, application of the Abelson tyrosine kinase inhibitor STI571 (Glivec®) has been previously found to effectively suppress colorectal cancer cell invasion as well as metalloproteinase-dependent matrix degradation by breast cancer cells [17-19].
